Okay nice. I’m going try for one of the eaves vents.
Any thoughts on how I should secure the hose to the eaves vent? Or could I get away with just resting it on there? Mainly thinking about a strong wind gust or something could move it off.
Really appreciate your help.

I think I could run it to a soffit. Would it also work to run it to one of the mesh screens on the attic wall? They might be easier to get to than where a soffit vent is currently.

Yeah, the quick searches I did made it sound a little easy, but doesn't make sense on further thought. Thanks for the comment!

>You do realize that...
Whatever phrase was to follow, the answer was no. I'm brand new to this :)
>it will soak up the water like a sponge and turn into a wet dripping stinking mess
This is essentially what I thought would happen, but some quick searches made it sound like that's all that was required. But that didn't make sense, which you pretty much just confirmed.
>Fix it right.
Yep, I know. Was just looking for a temp fix at the moment. I appreciate your help.

Yes, definitely want to get it fixed before we have some new house guests!
After the roofer installed the vent, did you just use the same duct work from your temporary fix? And did you have the vent installed on the gable?
